i recently retired my bp6 server running an sql platform and wanted to use it in my home as a file server along with my home pc. i configured the two pc's with a kvm switch, however, when use the mouse or make a few keyboard strokes the bp6 box shuts right off.
any suggestions or comments regarding this dilemma would be most appreciated.
the keyboards & mice have all been ps2. i have swapped out a couple of different keyborads and even tried a usb mouse with a ps2 adapter on the kvm with the same result. unless i connect the keyboard & mouse directly, the computer will shut right down.

Me suspects KVM. Have you tried different ports on the KVM?
